[Pyparsing] C++ Comments and a Backslash at the End of the Line.

[Ralph C. <ra...@in...>]

Hi,

Just looking at pyparsing-1.4.3's source and 

    cppStyleComment = Regex(r"(\/\*[\s\S]*?\*\/)|(\/\/.*)").setName("C++ style comment")

seems wrong.  AIUI the // style of comment is terminated by the end of a
line that is not preceeded with a backslash:

    $ cat x.c++
    int a; \\ abc\
    int b; \\ ghi
    $ g++ -E x.c++
    # 1 "x.c++"
    # 1 "<built-in>"
    # 1 "<command line>"
    # 1 "x.c++"
    int a; \\ abcint b; \\ ghi
    $

I don't know about Java:

    javaStyleComment = cppStyleComment

Cheers,


Ralph.
